As soon as Zhao Shuzhen heard this, she got angry.
“What nonsense are you talking about, child?”
“You were just talking about going on a blind date, and now you’re back to your old self! I knew it, you stubborn girl, you still can’t forget that stinky brat with the surname Shen!”
What stinky brat? She now wishes he would become a dead brat.
Lin Nian curled her lips and stopped talking.
Anyway, the more she says, the more mistakes she’ll make. When the time comes, her mother will know her determination.
But when she returned to her room and slept on this familiar small bed, she tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
Thinking of everything from her previous life, Lin Nian was upset and simply got up to work.
At the break of dawn, after her father Lin Jianguo got up, he saw that the table was already full of white flour buns.
He was instantly furious.
“Who wastes white flour like this? You’re really going backwards as you live!”
“Not putting in any coarse grains, how much family fortune is enough for you to eat! When you marry into your husband’s family, won’t they say I didn’t teach you well?”
Lin Nian calmly ladled porridge, without even raising her head.
“Before, when you made coarse grains, I didn’t see you guys eating them. Wasn’t it all me and my mom who finished them?”
“My mom works herself to death, getting the same work points as you, and still has to serve you when she gets home. Why can you eat white flour while she can only gnaw on cornbread?”
Lin Jianguo slammed the table, making the bowls and chopsticks jump.
“In this family, when did it become your turn to make the decisions?”
Lin Nian slowly drank her porridge, completely ignoring him.
She had been a good girl her whole previous life, and what was the result?
When she needed help the most, this father of hers only hated her for being embarrassing, questioning her why she was making a fuss over a money-losing daughter.
Over and over, he only had one sentence.
If a daughter is gone, just have another son! Hurry back and live your life with Shen Chengye, don’t embarrass the Lin family.
This life, she wouldn’t be Lin Jianguo’s good daughter no matter what
On the contrary, Gu Zeyun, who was practically a stranger, would pat her head with sympathy when he heard about her experience,哄ing her, an old lady, like a child.
He said: “It’s not your fault! Some people just love to take an inch, and you take a step back, take a step back, take a step back, and they’ll push you to the cliff.”
“Remember this! Those with bare feet aren’t afraid of those wearing shoes, flip the table and just fight!”
Lin Nian put the porridge bowl down heavily, and suddenly grabbed a white flour bun and took a fierce bite.
Then, in the shocked gazes of her family, she grabbed every white flour bun on the table like a madwoman and took a bite out of each one!
“You don’t want to eat it, right? I’ll eat it!”
“Mom, you eat too!”
Zhao Shuzhen was stunned. Before she could say anything, a bun was stuffed into her mouth.
Lin Nian poured herself a glass of water and took a breath to calm down before speaking.
“Mom definitely doesn’t mind my saliva, but I don’t know if Dad and Xiaodong mind it.”
“I’m full, going back to my room to catch up on sleep.”
After speaking, she turned and left.
Lin Jianguo was so angry that his face turned livid, and he chased after her, cursing.
“You bastard! I’ll beat you to death, you spendthrift!”
Seeing his raised hand about to touch the back of Lin Nian’s head, she suddenly dodged and changed direction.
Lin Jianguo couldn’t stop his momentum and staggered and fell to the ground, yelling in pain.
“You dead girl, you dare to hit your dad! Why doesn’t the heavens send down a lightning bolt to strike you dead…”
Lin Nian wouldn’t take the blame for this.
She smiled and held out an iron box, taking out ten yuan from it.
“Dad, look, none of my clothes fit! The family for today’s blind date has good conditions, it’s not appropriate to go there wearing these revealing clothes.”
I plan to buy two new outfits. Consider this ten yuan an investment. You can’t catch a wolf without putting skin on the line.
What if they find out you favor boys over girls and don’t want to be with me? The betrothal gift you’re getting will be gone!
In the end, even the brown sugar the matchmaker gave will have to be returned.
That bag of brown sugar had already been opened.
Nowadays, sugar can’t be bought with money. Every household has a limited amount of ration coupons. If the matchmaker comes to ask for it back, they’ll have to find neighbors to exchange for it.
But if that happens, everyone will know about their family’s embarrassing situation.
Lin Jianguo’s face was livid, and he couldn’t say a word for a long time. Mother Zhao Shuzhen stood beside him, in a dilemma.
Finally, she gritted her teeth and pushed Lin Nian out the door.
Go ahead, girl! Mom’s got this at home.
Niannian is right. She’s already eighteen years old and about to get married. How can she not even have a new outfit?
As for the rest, she, as her mother, will bear it for her daughter!
Lin Nian walked out of the house, and the rapid beating of her heart in her chest slowly calmed down.
She succeeded in resisting.
It turns out that all of this is not that difficult.
Lin Nian clenched the ten yuan in her pocket and couldn’t help but curl up the corners of her mouth.
Ten yuan is enough to buy two beautiful dacron skirts in a state-owned store, but it’s far from enough to take her mother away and fly away.
But fortunately, this is a good start.
Lin Nian moved her hands and feet and slowly ran towards the place to take the bus.
She remembered Gu Zeyun saying that the prerequisite for doing great things is to have a good body.
Returning from rebirth, she has many things to do and has no time to do special training, so she can only use fragmented time to improve her physical fitness.
Halfway through the run, she was stopped by a man.
Shen Chengye looked anxious and questioned her as soon as he opened his mouth.
Niannian, why are you running so fast? Are you avoiding me?
Are you blaming me for not keeping our appointment?
But I didn’t deliberately break our appointment last night! I encountered something very urgent. By the time I rushed over, you were already gone…
Don’t listen to those gossips in the village. They’re all nonsense! My help to Comrade Liu Yun is all because of her husband. I only have you in my heart!
Lin Nian sneered in her heart.
What urgent task? Isn’t it just that the Liu widow’s son is in pain and hungry again, and wants you, his godfather?
Although there are many urgent tasks in the army, it’s not worth looking for Shen Chengye, who is on vacation.
Besides, what task can be solved so quickly, solved in one night?
This Shen Chengye is really lying without blinking an eye, treating her like a fool.
It’s ridiculous that she was really deceived by these words in her previous life, and she felt sorry for him going out on missions every now and then, thinking about going out to try her luck to see if she could catch some game to nourish him.
Unexpectedly, when she entered the mountain, she found him and Xiaojun grilling fish on the back mountain, and the Liu widow was watching them gently, like a family of three.
When he saw her, Shen Chengye also lost his temper.
You make trouble at home every day, and you have to compete with a child like Xiaojun for everything!
I had no choice but to bring them out.
If you can be more sensible, how could I have gotten to this point?
Lin Nian, where did the understanding you go when we got married? Why are you always being unreasonable now?
Thinking of this, Lin Nian couldn’t help but roll her eyes, her tone filled with undisguised sarcasm.
You misunderstood, Comrade Shen!
What avoiding you? You don’t have that much face. I didn’t even see you just now!
